Conventional catheter-based angiography, magnetic resonance imaging/angiography, and computed tomographic angiography are all techniques routinely practiced for the diagnosis of aneurysms. With regard to the evaluation of treated aneurysms, each of these imaging modalities has inherent advantages and disadvantages. This review was aimed to provide a better understanding of the optimal application and interpretation of the available imaging modalities for the assessment of treated cerebral aneurysms.
